JAMIE'S SON

IN MY PLACE

A conversation a few days ago that really put me in my place.

Liam was not wearing a diaper for his afternoon nap and he took an impressive dump while sleeping. It left his legs covered in crap. I picked him out of bed and hurried him to the bathroom to strip off his clothes and get him into the tub. I did plenty of damage on the way there and so I set the shower running for him to start cleaning off while I went to work wiping the splatter up off the bathroom floor.

From behind the shower curtain he started talking....

Liam: "Daddy, you there?'

Me: "Yup."

Liam: "You cleanin' up my poop?"

Me: "I sure am."

Liam: ".....OK... good job."

BLUE SLED

There has been little snow to work with this year. When we finally got a big storm today Liam and I went to the store to pick out a new sled. He picked out a blue one and we got some good runs in off the back deck.

LITTLE VALENTINE

Jamie knows she'll get nothing from my cold heart on Valentine's Day so she's recruited a new 'honey bear.'

(As long as he gets to eat the dough he's happy with the setup.)
